a chance to talk to david blaine. we head up in the elevator cage protecting us from the volts and just moments later, eye to eye with the stunt man himself. now some people might call you crazy. why are you doing this? blaine says he's always had a fascination with electricity becoming a human plasma ball. this is not the first time with blaine, a glutton for shallment pushed the limit, hung upside down for more than two days in central park and suspended himself in a box over the thames river for 44 days and submerged himself underwater for a week. but unlike many of his previous stunts, this one was designed to be interactive. the crowds here in new york or pop-up stations around the world is able to control the voltage and zap blaine with a push of a button. can you feel the pain? he tells me sometimes he feels a slight tingle but that protective suit is working. if all goes according to plan, monday night blaine will come down and accomplish another bizarre but amazing feat. david, we wish you the best of luck. >
